The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently undefeated at 2-0 during the preseason, but those two wins haven’t come without some casualties.

To start on a good note, Bucs rookie cornerback Carlton Davis was back at practice after missing practice and the game last week in Nashville. Davis was plugged right back in with the first-team defense starting opposite Brent Grimes.

But, as you’ll see is the theme today on defense, there was more bad new to report than good.

Bucs rookie defensive tackle Vita Vea was still not practicing. This is the beginning of his third week of missed time after going down with a calf injury early in camp. It looks like Vea might not get any preseason action.
